Last Christmas, my family went home to Utah for a visit. One of my favorite stops is at Robert's Craft--where my mom is a designer. I always love looking at what she is working on. I almost died when I saw her icy inter tree. I knew immediately that I wanted one for next Christmas.

Fast forward a few months later, and it is raining branches in my yard. I used one for Olive's baby bird mobile, and found another...perfect for the Spring Tree!

When I was pregnant with Olive, baby magazines began to appear in my mailbox. One of them featured a beautiful nature-inspired nursery designed by Zeal Interiors that I immediately fell in love with. My favorite part? A simple white branch mobile with white swallows suspended from it. It was so charming, and looked simple enough to duplicate.

I put off making it for a while because of the craziness of a cross-country move, new baby, husband in law school, etc. I had almost forgotten about it until I stumbled upon the most beautiful branch in my yard. It was just too perfect to be ignored. I plucked it from the ground and got to work on my own colorful rendition.
